Then to embellish them. Aluminum wire was too soft, so I tried memory wire. This is wire that is treated to retain a round shape. It comes in toe ring, finger ring, bracelet, and necklace size. I used necklace size that is silver plated. Memory wire is not sold by gauge and one piece was not wide enough, so I twisted two pieces together.

I used aurora borealis crystal beads. Whatever creates the aurora borealis effect must be iron based, because water-based Gem-Tac glue caused light rusting inside the bead. So I used E-6000 to hold the beads in place. The same glue is used to hold the wires in the frame.
